Delivery driver did not ring the doorbell and lied about! Left our decking dangerously in the middle of the street blocking other peoples driveways, garages and parking spaces. Refused to come to move it so we have contacted the council regarding the material being dumped in the middle of the street without making anyone aware of the delivery!
Awful service, rude staff. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

My nan ordered coal for her open fire and was delivered coal NOT SUITABLE FOR OPEN FIRES the guy emptied it in the coal bunker. We only realised this after he left a bag behind and on the back it says warning not suitable for open fires! The Ash is awful our carbon dioxide alarm keeps going off and new ours are complaining about the smoke we have rang many of times about this issue and they have been nothing but rude and nasty, my nan is in her 80s on a state pension and cannot afford to buy any more so she's sitting in the old with no heating!! You should be ashamed
